Hi Rich,
The way the file upload works, is that it expects the filename to be in the
format:
filename.extension
you are correct - the algorithm that is used in the file upload module will
truncate the last letter and replace it with a dot - this is not intentional,
I'm sure, but it is a by-product of the algorthim that is used.
I believe that you should not be uploading files without an extension anyway -
because once on the server, the server will have no idea as to how to deal
with that file when it is called.
I suggest you set up a validation to check that the extension is valid (by
using the FILEEXT validation method - see the documentation) - or assign a
default extension to those that are uploaded without an extension. Your third
option is to use a regular expression to pattern match the existance of a file
extension - again - see the documentation.
Hope this helps,
